Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 29, 2007
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,828 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 217. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 790 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 799 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 790 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 799 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Meadow Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave (109 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Victoria Park Ave between Bracken Ave and Lane S of Kingston and W of Victoria Park measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (365 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 33,621 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
